I am a native Californian born and raised in the Central San Joaquin Valley. It has been the last nine years that I have been able to pursue my lifelong dream of painting watercolors. Occasionally, I paint with acrylics, which I enjoy as well. My paintings reflect confidence and expression through the use of vibrant colors and captured details. My works encompass a wide range of subjects—floral, landscapes, animals, and Southwestern themes. I have been complimented by other artists as having a style that resembles Georgia O’Keefe.
